    Do you need to do e-visas now?

    I went in 2016 and again in 2017 and used the e-visas.  I found going online around 7am a good time.  Do take a pen with you as I then had to complete a landing card once inside the terminal in Delhi.  Oh and be prepared, sharpen your elbows and try to get off the plane asap to get to the gates.

    Have a fabulous time.
     
    Yes you do.

    I visited in April, and things were as you describe. The only difference now is that you can use the same e-visa to visit India again during the period of its validity.
    Completely off-topic but I used an single entry e-visa on my last trip to India but crossed the border into Nepal for a day. The border staff knew the situation and my passport wasn't stamped so there was no indication that I'd left the country.
